Scooter exclusively tells Billboard. “Not every day will be sunny, and there will be thunderstorms throughout this journey, you just gotta know how to bounce back from that shit.”He adds: “So when I hit up my brother Future about the concept I had for this, he was all the way with it. And that’s my brother from day one before all this music shit, so that’s why him on this record made the most sense.
